Instructions

Press the tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cube it, season, and braise over medium-high heat until well browned, about 10 minutes.

Add the bell pepper and bok choy, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in the lemongrass and fish sauce for a final minute.

Cook the jasmine rice separately and fluff with a fork.

Let the tofu simmer for about 8 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the jasmine rice, garnished with fresh herbs.
